I had friends who hated this book when they read it in high school, but I really liked it. I liked all of the metaphors used to describe and I also liked the structure. Instead of a long chapters that tell a piece of the story, this book is set up in very short chapters that each describe something or tell a very short story.
Well, I like it when I wrote it anyway.
How can you not love that title? Seriously, how can you? It gives you tone (tongue-in-cheek humor) and content (necromancers, or more broadly, wizardry in a modern setting), plus it rolls right off the tongue. Who cares if it's paraphrased from an old Elton John song? It's awesome. So I had some expectations of quality when I cracked this book open. And they were mostly met. Mostly. Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is a good read start to finish, but it's a somewhat better read at the start than it is at the finish. Somewhere along the way, it runs out of steam.
